Abstract

The invention relates to a plate-type reactor body for a fuel cell system. The reactor body comprises (i) an inner space containing a catalyst layer (38) including a catalyst for promoting a reforming reaction, (ii) a plurality of plates, and (iii) a bonding portion between the plates. The reactor body is characterized in that the reactor body further comprises an aperture (47) adapted for insertion of the catalyst and a finishing unit adapted for finishing and sealing the aperture.
